Iran Widens Attacks on Bahrain, Hormuz Tanker
(Wall Street Journal) Benoit Faucon - Bahrain said it came under attack from Iranian drones, and a tanker was hit Saturday while crossing the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had carried out strikes against American targets and reasserted Iran's claim of control over traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S. official said two Iranian drones were detected in the attack on Bahrain. One was shot down and the other landed in a remote airfield area without hitting any target. He added that an Iranian drone struck a tanker carrying 2 million barrels of crude near the Strait of Hormuz, while two other drones targeting commercial shipping were shot down by U.S. forces.
